💡 Expert Tip
Two-step application is the biggest rejection trap here. Most candidates register on NAPS/NATS (Step I) and forget to fill the Microsoft Form (Step II) — and IOCL summarily rejects such applications. Keep your NAPS/NATS enrollment number ready before opening the MS Form, and use the exact same email ID and mobile number in both steps. Also note: if you hold a BE/B.Tech, MBA, CA, or MCA degree, you are NOT eligible — even if you also have a Diploma. Candidates who completed their qualifying degree more than 5 years ago are also ineligible as on 30 June 2026. Apply for only ONE trade/discipline — applying for more than one results in outright rejection.
